ENCOUNTER

As Kurt leaves Eva's sight, he starts increasing the pace of running as according to the system, it would take him 30 minutes if he keeps going at the current speed.

'Well, 30 minutes is not much, but I can feel my legs telling me to go faster. Let's try increasing the pace...'

Kurt lowers his body frame. Moves his legs quickly, as his incredibly muscular legs provide him with powerful thrusts to make big and quick leaps again and again.

As he keeps increasing his velocity, his leg muscles start heating up, tail muscles straightened, helping in changing direction almost instantly.

Kurt keeps gaining more and more speed, blue sparks are seen coming from his leg joints. With time, the sparks turn into lightning. Zooming through the air, his whole body gets covered in blue-red flash.

"BOOOOOOOOOM!!..."

A sudden boom is heard. It came from kurt running past the speed of sound, also known as the Sonic Boom(at Mach 1+). The ground was shattering from where Kurt ran. But this speed was still not exhausting for Kurt.

'No, not enough! I can still go on, my muscles are still not at their full power. Faster, Faster and more faster'

"BOOOOMM...., BOOOOOM, BOOOM, BOOOM "

Four consecutive Sonic Booms are heard. Kurt was now traveling at Hypersonic speed{Mach 5 or <}. As Kurt was trying to get faster, a notification pops up...

[⚠ WARNING!..

The host is reaching 0.5% of the speed of light, it is advised to slow down as it might cause harm to the host. ]

As Kurt was just about to finish reading, another message pops up..;

[Reaching the destination in 3..., 2....,1.., 0sec]

Reading the message Kurt stops instantly and as a result, falls and rolls on the ground for another mile.

"OW!, OW! Ow!, OUCHY! "

"Ah!.., shheehh.., my skin!..it's peeled off, ..hmm?..Oh, it's healing!. Well, enhancement did it's a job I guess."

Kurt looks at the system locater and found himself a mile away from the location and this time jogs to the destination as to not get excited while running. He reaches a big rocky Cave.

"Hmmm..., so here is that Robot. Let's go in then"

Kurt walks slowly into the dark cave. Due to his heightened eyesight and other senses he was able to see and feel his surroundings without any difficulty.

'Looking at the map, it seems that the explorer robot is around 230 meters into the cave. It's Quite a big cave. Let's go further in.'

After 10 minutes of slow walking, kurt reaches the place where the system map was indicating. Looking around, kurt searches for the robot, and after a moment of looking, he finds a metal piece stuck between a crack in the ground.

"Found it! , well no aliens then, I guess."

"And I ran here and injured myself in waste. What a piece of junk! I mean at least it should be able to get out of these silly situations. Are the robots made by the system so bad? they should be high-tech right?.."

As kurt was speaking out loud about the flaws of the robot made by the system, a message appears...

[Explorer Robots are specifically designed to be able to explore hazardous and harsh surroundings. They also have the means to get out of various situations, if they fall into such circumstances, which in the first place are discovered and prevented ahead of time. Unless A Special External Factor Is the Cause.]

Reading the information, Kurt just takes it as the system was giving an excuse.

Then suddenly a figure appears behind him before that figure could come close to Kurt, he lunges sideways. The figure passes by him, without showing any hesitance or any sign of surprise, kurt leaps and head bumps the figure.

The figure crashes into the cave wall, forming a crater.

"Arghhh!!.."

The figure slumps down. Kurt moves close to the body.

"Phew!, you surprised me there. Well, System was right about it then, you were the cause of why my robot never returned, huh..."

As Kurt reached closer to the body, he was shocked. It had 4 limbs and a similar body structure as humans, but the color of the skin was somewhat strange.

"It's blue, no wait! is it emitting blue light?"

Kurt gets close to the collapsed body, but something comes in the way, another one of them. Kurt gets alarmed and backs off a little.

"Cgek Lyutfglytfg Cholo."(Stop right there) the unknown figure standing between Kurt and the collapsed body spoke in an unfamiliar language.

Its body was also humanoid, and its skin was emitting blue color as well.

"Jem'g Iea Julo Seno Moul." (Don't you dare come any closer) the figure spoke while standing in a barricading position.

The collapsed figure moves its head and spoke;

"Meh, tog. Lam!" (No, get getaway. Run!)

"MEH, KUKU.", A trudging sound came from the inner side of the cave. Kurt could see several small blue humanoid , peeking through the wall.

'Wha-What is this? They are the same as me, ... I mean, as my human form, they have eyes, nose, and other similar basic human body characteristics.

Are they some family or something? , and that unknown language they are speaking.....'

Kurt thought for a while, then asked the system;

"System, scan them and find if they have any means to threaten me."

[Scanning....., scan complete, no threat or hazardous ability detected..., showing scan report...]

[ •Type of organism-Complex bioluminescent humanoid primates.

•Carbon Based Lifeforms {like humans}

•High-intelligence.

•luminescent blood platelets detected.

.... For more information, additional observation is required...]

Kurt had made an encounter with an alien species. In addition to that, they had intelligence and their own language. But now the problem was communication. There was no way of interacting with them. And here they were, holding themselves cautious of Kurt and trying to save their own lives.

Kurt understood this from their actions. He wanted to talk to them, but it was evident that if he came close to them, they might run away or heck even attack him with stones or something. Suddenly a message pops up...

[Mind data extraction possible, physical contact required.....

*It is advised to use mind extraction for getting an understanding of the foreign language.]

'Oh!, nice then. So, I need physical contact for mind extraction...? Okay then....'

Kurt leaps at the alien standing in front of him.

"Kyaaa!"...
